It is the begging of a new week, new endeavors, new accomplishments, new struggles and new ideas. My prayer for my friends and family is that we will be aware of those things that keep us away from what is pure, true and good. Today is a big day for millions of sports fans and there will no doubt be many parties, drunken stupors and bets all the while little eyes watch and record what is seen, heard and felt. At the same time in various parts of the world both women and young girls are being sold into sexual slavery. Thousands of these poor souls will be exhibited and sold today while many drink their beers and cheer for their team. My prayer? That we will see the evil and expose it. That we will protect our children from sick ideals brought to us by the local media, the popular clothing lines and Hollywood.
You see people just don’t wake up and decide they are going to work in prostitution or become sex traders, criminals and drug abusers. There is a slow ripping away of what is pure, true and good, the degradation of the human soul who pushes away God’s love and truth.. And before they know it, the enemy of our souls envelops the innocent and the willing and pushes them into some of the most heinous and sick crimes known to humanity.Going back in history we can read that Hitler was not born a wicked man. He was made into one. He was actually baptized and confirmed in the Catholic faith as a child in Austria. But through a series of events he grew up with a twisted view of what was pure, true and good. He sought to eliminate the God of the Christian and Jewish faith. To create his own ideals, to impose them on others with abuse, tyranny and consequence. When I look at mainstream media and at many people in power I scratch my head and see their distortion of what is pure, true and good and their laws on how we should educate and raise our families. Next to these outfits, the Political puppets, AKA the media continues to offer and embrace marketability of sex appeal by which they seek to indoctrinate our young children into liberal lifestyles and distorted sexuality.
Artists such as Jay Z teach our youth to adore money, crave for sex and mistreat women. Don’t even get me started on Eminem, Madonna and Katy Perry. There are to many to name but you get the point.

Now I ask you, what are you allowing the world to teach the precious minds of your young ones? Are they being robed of their innocence by video games, music and mainstream media? It saddens me to see all the young teenage girls completely engulfed in the fashion industries idea of fashionable. Showing but cheeks and cleavage because they want to be noticed and because they are hurting inside. And what the heck are we doing about it? Not a darn thing. My prayer? That we would wake the heck up before it is to late for those we know and love. That we would seek to protect the minds and hearts of our family. “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Proverbs 4:23 That when we sit down and watch TV or movies we would be selective and diligent on what sounds and images we allow to come into our brains and be embedded into our hearts forever. Yes, my prayer is kind of long but a needed one.

So today as you come back from church, the park, the store or get ready to go to a Super Bowl Party be mindful of what you do and what you are teaching your family by your actions. Standup for what is pure, true and good. For me that means holding fast to my faith because it is the only thing I have proven in my life and the world to be true. It is what guides me and shapes me day by day. And although this vessel is lacking and imperfect I know that the redeemer of our souls is with me. He waits patiently for his beloved people to turn their eyes away from evil and run towards the truth.

It is not only necessary to take care of our faith and our relationship with our heavenly father but we must also take care of our temple. When I say take care I don’t mean obsess about it, join a gym and … Continue reading →
